Software

This page lists software available on Library computers: Windows desktops, iMac desktops, Windows notebooks, and Macbook Pro notebooks. Most software titles are available on all these platforms and in all Library locations. Desktops with the (+) designation include additional design and 3D printing software. The Windows NOTEBOOK01 includes the ACerS-NIST Phase Equilibria Diagrams database and the ICDD PDF-4 database of inorganic diffraction data.

Database of critically evaluated phase equilibria data. The diagrams serve as maps of the equilibrium chemical and structural behaviors exhibited by materials and provide critical starting information for the rational design of materials processing schemes, for quality assurance efforts, and for optimization of the physical and chemical properties of advanced materials.

Dreamweaver is a web design and development application that combines a "what you see is what you get" (WYSIWYG) editor and a code editor with standard features such as syntax highlighting, code completion, and code collapsing as well as more sophisticated features such as real-time syntax checking and code introspection for generating code hints to assist the user in writing code. Part of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of software.

Vector graphics editor. Adobe Illustrator is the companion product of Adobe Photoshop. Photoshop is primarily geared toward digital photo manipulation and photorealistic styles of computer illustration, while Illustrator provides results in the typesetting and logo graphic areas of design. Both are part of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of software.

Raster graphics editor. Adobe Photoshop is the companion product of Adobe Illustrator. Photoshop is primarily geared toward digital photo manipulation and photorealistic styles of computer illustration, while Illustrator provides results in the typesetting and logo graphic areas of design. Both are part of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of software.

Video editing software. Premiere Pro supports high resolution video editing at up to 10,240 × 8,192 resolution, at up to 32-bits per channel color, in both RGB and YUV. Audio sample-level editing, VST audio plug-in support, and 5.1 surround sound mixing are available. Premiere Pro's plug-in architecture enables it to import and export formats beyond those supported by QuickTime or DirectShow, supporting a wide variety of video and audio file formats and codecs on both MacOS and Windows. Part of the Adobe Creative Cloud suite of software.

AutoCAD is a computer-aided drafting software program used for creating blueprints for buildings, bridges and computer chips. AutoCAD is used mainly by drafters, although engineers, surveyors and architects may need to use the software from time to time.

Digital audio workstation for OS X that allows users to create music or podcasts. Enables users to create multiple tracks with pre-made MIDI keyboards, pre-made loops, an array of various instrumental effects, and voice recordings. GarageBand supports many sound formats, though notably not MP3 and those that are at 8-bits or lower.

ImageJ is a public domain, Java-based image processing program developed at the National Institutes of Health. ImageJ was designed with an open architecture that provides extensibility via Java plugins and recordable macros. Custom acquisition, analysis and processing plugins can be developed using ImageJ's built-in editor and a Java compiler. User-written plugins make it possible to solve many image processing and analysis problems, from three-dimensional live-cell imaging to radiological image processing, multiple imaging system data comparisons to automated hematology systems. ImageJ's plugin architecture and built-in development environment has made it a popular platform for teaching image processing.

Text editor. Includes syntax highlighting that provides native support for over 200 file formats. Support for additional formats can be added manually using XMLfiles. It supports UTF-8 and many other encodings. It has extensive code folding and text folding capabilities as well as text wrapping that takes indents into account. The application is highly customizable and can be extended with macros written in BeanShell, Jython, JavaScript and some other scripting languages.

Maple is a symbolic and numeric computing environment, and multi-paradigm programming language. Maple also covers other aspects of technical computing, including visualization, data analysis, matrix computation, and connectivity.

MeshLab is an advanced 3D mesh processing software system that is oriented to the management and processing of unstructured large meshes and provides a set of tools for editing, cleaning, healing, inspecting, rendering, and converting these kinds of meshes.

MiKTeX is a distribution of the typesetting system LaTeX for Microsoft Windows. It consists of an implementation of TeX and a set of related programs. MiKTeX provides the tools necessary to prepare documents using the TeX/LaTeXmarkup language, as well as a simple tex editor (TeXworks).

Notepad++ is a text editor and source code editor for use with Microsoft Windows. Unlike Microsoft Notepad, the built-in Windows text editor, it supports tabbed editing, which allows working with multiple open files in a single window. The project's name comes from the C increment operator.

A database of inorganic diffraction data from crystals and powders produced by the International Centre for Diffraction Data® (ICDD®), a non-profit scientific organization dedicated to collecting, editing, publishing, and distributing powder diffraction data for the identification of materials. This comprehensive collection of inorganic materials is in a standardized format that can be rapidly searched for unknown phase identification. It is designed to support automated quantitative analyses by providing key reference data required for these analyses. It also contains an array of tools that supplement conventional analyses, such as a full suite of data simulation programs enabling the analysis of neutron, electron, and synchrotron data, in addition to conventional X-ray data.

Python is a widely used high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language. Its design philososphy emphasizes code readability, and its syntax allows programmers to express concepts in fewer lines of code than possible in languages such as C++ or Java.

SketchUp is a 3D modeling computer program for a wide range of drawing applications such as architectural, interior design, landscape architecture, civil and mechanical engineering, film, and video game design.

WinSCP (Windows Secure Copy) is a free and open-source SFTP, FTP, WebDAV and SCP client for Microsoft Windows. Its main function is secure file transfer between a local and a remote computer. Beyond this, WinSCP offers basic file manager and file synchronization functionality. For secure transfers, it uses Secure Shell (SSH) and supports the SCP protocol in addition to SFTP.

Wolfram Mathematica (or just Mathematica) is a symbolic mathematical computation program, sometimes called a computer algebra program, used in many scientific, engineering, mathematical, and computing fields. The Wolfram Language is the programming language used in Mathematica.
